Enjoy walking, cycling or a horseback ride among the 800 head of game on this pristine farm. Spot the endangered Oribi or the rare mountain Zebra. Take time to search for the elusive Otter along the banks of the river, or spot any of the Grassland predators like Caracal, Black backed jackal or the secretive Brown Hyena. More than 200 birds have been recorded on this farm with sightings of Fluff tail, Fish eagles, and the long wing Nightjar. Blue Crane, Mahem and Wattle Crane are annual visitors and have bred successfully on Elandskloof. If you are more into doing it in style, let us take you on a game drive or night drive (weather permitting). Cycle the quiet district roads and explore the beauty of the Mpumalanga escarpment Make use of the crystal clear air, the colourful hues, and the dramatic backdrop of the mountains to capture that once in a lifetime picture.

For the avid fly fishermen we have 11 dams, varying in size with some as large as 8 hectares, regularly stocked from our own hatchery. Although we promote catch and release a bag limit of 2 fish per angler is allowed. Cook it yourself in one of our self-catering units or let us prepare it for you in our restaurant (by prior arrangement).
